Arianna Thierry has sought treatment for her 13-year-old son, who has cerebral palsy, all over Louisiana, from Lafayette to Baton Rouge to New Orleans to Shreveport.
Now, she has come full circle to Lafayette because of Dr. Ryan Farmer, a pediatric orthopedic surgeon with Lourdes Physician Group who counts the diagnosis, treatment and management of cerebral palsy patients as one of his specialties.
“My faith is what got us here,” said Thierry, who lives in Lawtell. “That s what I believe strongly. You have to go through these obstacles to get here. We kind of made a circle. Sometimes you start in a place looking for something and you go halfway around the world and end up right back where you started because something else was planted there.”
